Lollipop and Mr. Mole, alias Maggie and Reg Robinson, are partners in a blissful and romantic union, a marriage firmly based on the premise that opposites attract.

Tucked away in their cosy cottage in Fulham, SW6, the ever-obliging Reg is constantly in need of protection from the world - and sometimes from himself; while Reg is kindness personified, the iron-willed Maggie knows that generosity can sometimes cause more problems than it solves. When Reg agrees to put up his brother and sister-in-law in their spare room, she's certainly proved right!
